steve, we've got the big face-off this week, vice president joe biden versus ball ryan. the pressure is on both of them. ryan saying mitt romney's performance makes it more difficult for him. people are suggesting that vice president joe biden is gaffe-ridden and incompetent. what are you expecting from this debate? >> i will go ahead and i would say i'd set the bar pretty high for biden because i think he's a much better debater than obama. one of the reasons biden ended up on the ticket with obama in 2008 was that in 2007 and 2008 running against hillary clinton, running against barack obama, it was biden who are often than not who would steal the show at those democratic debates. it never actually translated into votes for him but he impressed people in the obama campaign as somebody they wanted to have out there. you go farther back in his career when he first ran for president in 1988, he got derailed by a bit of a plagiarism scandal, but when he was using his own words, he was one heck of an orator. that was his reputation. a really strong communicator. i look at b

the thing is, steve is exactly right. there is no incentive for republicans in congress to do anything to improve the jobs picture. because any uptick in the jobs picture is bad for their candidate for president. and i think you're seeing the ultimate cynicism. they would rather do abortion legislation which gets their base excited. at the same time they're going after this war on women stuff and these social issues which keeps their base engaged while refusing to do anything on the jobs issue. now they're hurting the president while getting their own base excited. >> amazing. we know congressional republicans's real agenda. do you remember this? >> our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny president obama a second term. >> so i guess it is going on every day as far as republicans are concern, isn't it? on that basis? >> yes. to go back to what they were saying, it has to do with just denying him everything. not just a second term but any kind of improvement in the economy that might be achieved

so mitt doesn't have the fee income that steve schwartzman has. >> just a final question. to give someone like mitt romney the benefit of the doubt, he would say that investment incoming is taxed twice anyway because you have corporate tax followed by the 15% on anything that he gets. what would you say the as that an argument? >> that's a fine argument if you're just paying capital gains on what you yourself have invested. as we said before, he's got 15% capital gains tax on all of the fund's profits that he gets his share of, far more than he invested personally. if he's going to play that game, he should scale it back to the amount that he invested in the first place. >> bill cohen, thanks so much. just a reminder, big bill's book, money and pour it on sale in paper back this month. bill, thanks so much. >>> coming up, political candidates finally ready to talk about obesity? but first here's brian sullivan with the market wrap. brian. >> thanks very much. here's a look how stocks are trading. positive hold builder sentiment coming in at the high left level since 2007.
